EPL: Mauricio Pochettino Departs Chelsea FC

Chelsea Football Club can confirm that the Club and Mauricio Pochettino have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. This decision was made after careful consideration and discussions between the Club's ownership and management.

Despite Mauricio's dedication and hard work during his tenure, the Club and the manager were not aligned on future projects, including the summer transfer window and the manager's involvement in summer signings. Additionally, the Club's owners were not convinced that Mauricio was the right fit to lead the team forward.
